HTC-Apple licensing deal to benefit Android manufacturer

0.phoneArena01 Jan 2013, 23:04posted on

The ten year licensing deal between Apple and HTC, which ends all patent fights between the two manufacturers for some time, is really expected to help the Taiwan based company, according to HTC China President Ray Yam who says that the deal will now enable HTC to concentrate its resources on innovation instead of trying to find workarounds...

It was the lesser of two evils. Now HTC is free of worrying whether it will be able to sell its toys and focus on building the best toys it can build.

At some point down the road, many (if not all) of the patents that Apple has used in its fight with HTC will be invalidated and HTC will need to decide whether to continue paying the blood money to Apple. But that is for the future. Now it needs to focus on building the best toys that it can build.

Do you know APPLE has patented WINDMILL? They are patenting just about anything and everything irrelevant to them and a time will come when they will just be making money out of suing every other company.

Calm down. Just because Apple has a patent, doesn't mean they can hold everyone up for royalties. Sammy's attorneys blew their case by not mounting a prior art invalidity defense. Sammy needs to push the re-set button.

Same for Apple's windmill patent. If there is prior art, it generally tends to invalidate a patent.

Roche had one patent invalidated in India for a drug and it was moved to generic class under pressure from a NGO. More and more of public pressure has to come against these stupid acts because politicians /govt of the day play hand in glove with corporates world over and it's only public pressure that make things happen. People are now opposing M$ takeover of Egypt in Egypt.
